Former President Traian Băsescu claims, in a Facebook post, that “honest partnership with the European Union” is the only solution for the US and the EU to be the political and military force that can maintain democracy and peace on the planet. Traian Băsescu calls Trump “The Braggart from Mar-a-Lago”, explaining that “he does not understand that America can no longer face the ever-tightening Russian-Chinese pincer on its own”.

It is time for “PRO EUROPE” or “EUROPE FIRST” Intoxicated by political success and power, Donald Trump and his trump card Elon Musk bark loudly and imperatively about their “desires”, whether they are talking about Greenland, Canada, the Panama Canal or the Gulf of Mexico, but also about massive arms orders by allocating 5% of each member state’s GDP. Unfortunately, if we go by public statements, it seems that we will have someone like Putin in the White House and then, very likely, Greenland will be put on the same table as Ukraine in peace talks with Moscow, and the Panama Canal on the same table as economic sanctions and customs duties for China in talks with Beijing”, the former president begins in a Facebook post, made on Wednesday, January 15.

According to Traian Băsescu, “the boast about stopping the war in Ukraine in 24 hours remains just a statement that covers the issuing character with ridicule”.

“What the Mar-a-Lago Braggart does not understand is that America can no longer face alone the Russian-Chinese pincer that is tightening ever more tightly through Russia in Europe and through China in Asia-Pacific. Trump must understand that honest partnership with the European Union is the only solution so that together, the US and the EU can be that political and military force that maintains democracy and peace on the planet”, says Băsescu.

He also states that, at the same time, “Europe must understand four things”:

“1. Today, peace requires increased spending on armaments as a deterrent or retaliation against Russia. 3 percent of GDP for defense would be a reasonable solution at this time;

2. The pro-Russian leaders and peoples of the EU as well as the pro-American leaders and peoples of the EU must understand that we have no alternative to the “PRO EUROPE” or “EUROPE FIRST” option;

3. NO COMPROMISES in the solidarity of the member states of the European Union;

4. Trump is only a temporary president of the USA while America is eternal.” Traian Băsescu also states that, “unfortunately, Romania, due to the internal political situation and its own self-decrediting, is not welcome at the negotiating table at a crucial moment, with consequences that are difficult to assess.”
